#1314: Objective-C methods with null-terminated arguments have a subtle issue

Because nil is a legitimate object in Ruby, but not in objective-c, it can
introduce subtle bugs:
Example:
{{{
framework 'Cocoa'
array = NSArray.alloc.initWithObjects(nil,1,2,3)
p array.size
p array.inspect
}}}
Since reading the va_list stops when it finds the first nil, the array is
never initialized with the numbers.
I'm not sure how common this will be in practice though...
